    Suspicious activities

    Hellwife from Icecrown!

    Greetings,
    I have been playing on Warmane for 5 years now,
    getting through all of the transitions, ingame stuff and
    whatnot. I have seen it all here, really.

    Established my main warrior here 3 years ago - Hell‐
    wife, lots of achies done, and aiming for Loremaster
    of the game (not the actual achievement but in
    general - wanted to have every item, quest done, zone
    phase shift, lore, hard to get items, unique stuff and
    whatnot ). But i bumped into a sort of a problem here:

    Some time ago i stopped getting that % chance items
    (yes it is a % chance of getting them but hear me out)

    1) Don't know which hierarchy I should start on but
    at top of my mind here goes nothing - I have a hunter
    alt, maxed out in engineering and that perky gnomish
    device "Wormhole generator - Northrend". On my third
    cast i got an option for "Dalaran Underground"

    , on my

    main Hellwife never have i got that in 3 years.

    2) Mysterious egg. My other alt, on another acc, which
    i do not play anymore, got the Green proto Drake in
    about 2 months; Hellwife - 30 months buying it, approx
    100 eggs not a sign of a mount.

    3) Old crafty in Ogrimmar. My guldies got it in like

    approx 20-30 mins, actually 6 of them who hunt
    the achies like me. Hellwife - 6 days fishing, 4 hours
    a day - not a sign of it.

    4) Same goes for Old Ironjaw in Ironforge - 20 swings,
    got it on my Hunter alt. Hellwife - Nope

    5) Mr. Pinchy - Daily fishing it for a month straight,
    Hellwife - nope, DK alt - got it in like 4 days

    6) etc, don't have it on top of my mind right now
    but You got the point.

    Bottom line question - Am i doing something wrong
    on my main? Did i somehow trigger that % chance to
    "phase out" of existence by somewhat abandoning
    certain quests/ actually doing some quests/ still on
    some quests or did I somehow triggered something
    along my journey (cause i've been doing some crazy
    content on this huge world) which resulted in not
    getting a chance of dropping those unique items?
    Is there still a chance of me dropping all those items or
    is it a Don Quijote neverending battle with windmills?
    I just want to know is it still worth doing all this content
    or did I trigger something along my journey which
    blocks me of that ultimate satisfaction?

    Sorry for the long post,

    Kind regards,
    Hellwife - best xmog fury warror :P

    My personal opinion - this is just RNG.

    For example, if an item have 10% to drop.

    That means it should drop 1/10 times. Chances that You drop it at first try is 10%, but chances that You won't get it in 20 tries is ~12,5 % as well (if I did math correct).

    So You know, thats just how rng works - i got my green proto with 2nd egg on rogue and never ever got it on any other char, while Im doing oracle rep on all toons :)

    Thank you for your time to answer. :)

    I mean if that is the case I would gladly take RNG any day, and still be trying to get it. I was just afraid I somehow triggered something that stopped me from getting it, because I had similar problems earlier with other stuff that needed to be reported via ticket and got resolved that way.

    Cheers
